What does the number 6 on the Nescafé Gold jar mean?

That number is Nescafé's strength indication: the higher the number, the more intense and fuller the coffee tastes. This smooth and refined Nescafé Gold is a 6, so it is a little softer and rounder than a version marked 7.

Does your supermarket jar show a 7? That usually means it is a different Gold variant, or packaging made for another market. Brands do not use the same scale everywhere, and the scale can change from one packaging generation to the next. It says nothing about quality, only about how intense the cup tastes.
